Health News Update: How to Improve Bone Density 11.9.26
Hello again: Can a simple no-cost and fast jumping exercise significantly improve bone mineral density (BMD)in a post-menopausal woman? Yes!!
Results: At 8 weeks, unadjusted percentage change in hip BMD was significantly different among groups (F = 5.4, p = .0236). Specifically, compared with controls, the Jump 20 women had significantly greater gains in hip BMD, and the Jump 10 women had marginally greater improvements. Following 16 weeks of jumping, differences between the Jump 10 and the Jump 20 groups compared with controls were significant (F = 4.2, p = .0444), especially after adjusting for the covariates (F = 7.3, p = .0092).
Conclusion: After 16 weeks of high-impact jump training, hip BMD can be improved in premenopausal women by jumping 10 or 20 times, twice daily, with 30 seconds of rest between each jump, compared with controls.

Bottom Line: This is seriously good news for both women (this probably also applies to men). My experience with supplements is that a select group of supplements along with an anti-inflammatory food plan has been slowly increasing bone density in a group of patients I am seeing. With the addition of this simple jumping plan, it would seem reasonable to even see greater benefits over time. This study was only 16 weeks long to show modest improvements, so you can imagine that over the years, this easy to implement home protocol could add a lot of protection to your health.
